  1. Trump is Putin's bitch, he does not give orders. 2. Trump is a compulsive liar, nothing he says carries any credibility.

Russian orthodox Xmas is the 7th, Ukraine doesn't want to be associated with Russia, I can't imagine why /s.

How was that escalation though ? They've been attacking electrical infrastructure fairly consistently.

Trump is egotistic. Zelenskyy recognized that and is playing off of his ego.

Then Zelenskyy is dumber than he looks, even when he played a clown on TV. See how that works out for him in the long run.

... they're Orthodox Christians, Dec 25th isn't what it is in the west. Why would anyone think they'd have a ceasefire when none were ever put on the table?

Russian Christmas celebrations are still based on the old calendar, but Ukraine officially celebrates using the new calendar. https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-christmas-orthodox-church-calendar-b658c9ebecc91a470866c34b1c1847eb so it is what it is in the 'west'.

Many Orthodox countries celebrate Christmas on 25th of December just like the rest of the world, i am from Greece and we also celebrate on 25th, there are a few churches that use the Julian calendar (7th January) but those are the exception, i think Ethiopia also has Christmas on 7th JJanuary
